Timely exploitation of the current pop-culture zombie craze. Played for laughs rather than over-the-top gore, & it does deliver on the laughs---mostly from the intellectual vs. macho mismatch between the two leads. Jesse Eisenberg fits well as the nerdy college kid, but is just doing a prolonged Michael Cera impersonation ...leading me to wonder, why didn't they just cast Michael Cera? The director relied too much on a gimmicky 3D caption device (eg., current Volkswagen commercials)---trendy, contributes nothing of value. The dialog and character development are halfway decent, rescuing this from being C-grade "rent, don't see" material. Solid B+ effort if you have any attraction at all to the whole zombie phenomenon.
